He wants some of the Safari gear. He'd tell you he wants it all. I like the vest, lantern, compass and binoculars. He says he wants the walking stick. I think that the walking stick might turn into a fighting toy sward. Please do not get the walking stick.

I've felt like screaming lately. My kids took care of that for me at the lunch table. They were not screaming out of frustration; they were making a game out of screaming. I was about to tell them to stop it. Then I thought, maybe we all just need to scream sometimes. As long as it ends in laughter.

Although this little guy has caused some major life changes, he is so cute! Emerson has had a major upswing this week. He's gained weight, is awake more often, has better strength and is able to breastfeed more often.

Isaak's hair just wasn't thick enough to get there. Now it seems to be thickening up. We got it cut pretty short, only to have it grow more. Both boy's got hair cuts today.

Mica wanted his hair on the shorter end of the spectrum. I like his hair short because his head sweats so bad. He plays so hard in the heat. Mica told the lady he wanted a super hero hair cut. That's what he thinks he got. He also told her that he was handsome for the girls he's going to meet in kindergarten. ;)

Then we went to Kohl's to get new shoes for Mica. He needed tie ones in a bad way. We have to work with him on tying his shoes. I got Mica socks and a few pair of shorts too. Daddy informed me that the boy's socks are too small. They went to go to a bounce house, where they needed socks. Mica's jean shorts were looking pretty tight. Yep he's growing.

I'll put up photo's of the boy's hair cuts soon. Right now they are both taking a nap! ;)

I can't breath. Really I'm freaking out! Fall time is right around the corner, and I have no care for my children two days a week. Aunt Terra in the past has always watched them. Well she has a new baby that is sick. Emerson is actually doing very good. Terra's in no situation to watch my kids.

I brought this up to my Daddy and he says, "Oh I've never thought about that."

Grandma and Grandpa Spiehs offered to help, but lets face it, they can't do it all. They are not Super Grandparents.

Aunt Terra alone can't even watch her own three children. She has to have help. I tried talking about the fall with her, and she said that she can only think about today and tomorrow. I just want to brainstorm what to do with her own kids.

I'm freaking out, and I don't know what to do! I don't want my children living in daycare. I know a lot of kids do, and maybe we'll have to. YIKES!

So I always thought I'd have girl's that were into cute little dolls! Boy was I wrong! I guess Isaak likes baby's. Why did I think that I'd have girls? I'm not sure. I just was raised with all sister's, my mom had all sister's. I was a girly, girl that liked dolls and Barbies.

I never thought I'd let my kid's play with guns. Well my boy's have two Nerf guns and a pop gun. I've changed my ways I guess.

We went to Cabela's. It was across the street from our hotel on our Staycation. The boy's saw a shooting range. They wanted to give it a try. Daddy looked over at me with puppy dog eyes, as if to ask if it was ok to give it a whirl. I said, "Sure! It's Staycation afterall."

The end of day 2 on our Staycation was wearing on Isaak. He actually fell asleep in his car seat! This rarely happens!

In the hotel we went swimming and laid in bed. One of the later Indiana Jones movies was on and Daddy and I fell asleep. Guess who stayed up to watch it? Our 2 boy's. Daddy woke up and they were glued to the TV. We hope that it wasn't too scary!

3. Stir in the Tropical Traditions Whole Golden Flaxseed (ground), Wheat Germ, Oats and Rice Cereal.
4. Let the mixture cool for few more minutes, and then stir in
the Chocolate Chips.

a sprayed 8 x 8 pan. Make sure it is
packed, and then place the bars into the freezer to
chill for 30 minutes to an hour.
Cut into bars or pop them out and eat. Store them in the refrigerator to keep fresh and from getting too soft.
